Also, you guys that are running 36/104, or close to it, what brand of gears are you running like that, that will fit the T2? Does that mean I gotta go to 64 pitch?
About the only gears that work are the www.precisionracingsystems.com Pro-Lite Touring gears. Have you calculated your gearing at www.gearchart.com yet? If you're running 22/84 with 58mm tires that's a 28mm roll out and way low for this motor. You can try going more conservative but in my opinion that's the opposite direction you should go. At least borrow a pinion around 28-30 teeth and see how it feels. That will put you closer to a 36-38mm roll out. Good luck.
